Been and gone

Well that was March - it has taken us from winter into spring and back into winter again. My calendar is full. Sometimes I write up several days at a time and add embellishments as I go along.

It has been a full month, not least that I celebrated my sixtieth birthday. What a super family and friends I have - old and new and I thank you all for your kind wishes and gifts.

This week I'm feeling a bit bleaugh - not very creative or productive, although I have been playing with my new sewing machine getting to know its assets and my limitations. I think my body knows the Easter holidays are coming up - for thirty-plus years of teaching, like many of my colleagues, I inevitably got a cold for the holidays and for some reason by immune system hasn't realised I've RETIRED!

I have prepared my April page. I have gone for a fresh spring look, hopefully it will be spring again before long. I still enjoy filling these in - it is always a good opportunity for a bit of a doodle.

In the small picture I thought you had rather cleverly made your days like washing on the line but when I looked at the enlarged version I see it's perhaps branches behind the squares - either way it looks great and all ready for this month's memories.

oh lovely pages! I have come back from sun and warmth to a second winter and I have to say I am fighting off the winter blues as a result. I need a holiday, but there is always so much to do and kids to entertain - I can feel some easter crafting coming on . . . .

Sorry you're feeling poorly Jill. These sunny looking pages should kick start the month.Every month I make the same comment about not having the discipline to do this myself and I'm beginning to sound like a stuck record. Can we just take it as read as usual? Hope you feel brighter soon. Lesley PS Loving that stitching!!
